There is a reason Zoom has been adopted the way it has; the overall user experience, do not confuse with UI, has the least amount of friction.
Zoom might not be the best in any single category, but I am glad it exists.
- oska 7y ago> There is a reason Zoom has been adopted the way it has The reason is that people do not generally think philosophically or strategically about the software choices they make. The FSF does and, time and time again, their deep consideration has proven prescient. It will be the case with Zoom too.
- DevKoala 7y agoPhilosophically? Strategically? Company employees are rejecting the alternatives. For example, SpaceX had to ban Zoom because employees kept using their own subscriptions. I agree that privacy and security are not negotiable, but unless you ban the tool, you cannot force your employees to not use it, there are no better alternatives from their perspective. We have all lived through Skype, Hangouts, Webex, GotoMeeting, etc. They all failed at delivering the experience Zoom delivers.
